Racine, Aoc Côtes Du Rhône, Blanc
Romans brought the vines culture in the Rhône Valley two millenaries ago; sailing up the river, they discovered on each river bank sides a great diversity of soils and favorable conditions… The river itself has drawn hillsides and plains, bringing from the Alpes Mountains, silt and rounded pebbles.
The story
Since this time, men have cultivated the best soils to elaborate beautiful cuvées of Côtes-du-Rhône like this one, descended from a selection of terroirs sitting on both banks of the river, with great Viognier, juicy Grenache Blanc, and crisp Clairette, full of charms, fruit and citrussy notes
Vinification
Full destemming followed by a light skin maceration and gentle pressing. Cold static settling. Alcoholic fermentation at low temperature in stainless steel vats. The wine is protected from oxygen to preserve its aromatic potential. 5-months ageing on the fine lees. No oak treatment.
